They might as well do it sooner in my opinion! America just gives away all it's technology to Foreign governments that become hostile toward The US anyway in the long run!

The USA with the western powers are going down anyway with the Central Banks and Bankers in control while the citizens get the tax bills with all this Elitism of The NWO anyway!

Russia's space agency announced Wednesday that the International Space Station -- a space base the world's scientists and billions of U.S. tax dollars helped build and maintain some 200 miles above the surface of the Earth -- will be de-orbited ouch! and allowed to sink into the Pacific Ocean in 2020, just like its Russian predecessor, Mir.

    Realistically, the ISS is getting old and wearing out. Space is a VERY tough environment, and nothing lasts forever. If they try to keep it running indefinitely, something catastrophic will eventually break and kill the crew.

    It'll be a shame, but it is inevitable that it'll come down sooner or later. Better to de-orbit it under controlled circumstances than risk it coming down just anywhere - like into a city.
    I may be a bit crazy - but I didn't drive myself.

    We've been screwing around and piddling around in orbit performing experiments since the end of the lunar program in the 70's. It is time to fire up the rockets and explore space. Start out with a moon base, then move on to Mars and so on. Start building larger craft for long term space exploration. And make it an international effort.
